Andersen, but they don't even have a hitch to hook up their trailer to the seatpost.
Alternatively, you could consider trailers that hook up to the rear wheel instead such as the
CarryFreedom or
Radical Design.
The Travoy hitch doesn't weigh too much and since I don't have the longest inseam, the hitch sits at the top of my seatpost. This enables me to able put the seatpost nearly all the way down when folding. Not bad.
As for quick release, you may be able to replace the two hitch bolts with 2 separate quick releases which would enable the hitch to quickly be slid off the bottom end of the seatpost provided that your seatpost is able to be pulled out of the seat tube.
